The Clovers — Love Potion Number 9 lyrics

Lyrics

I took my troubles down to Madame Rue
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She’s got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine
I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I’ve been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm, and she made a magic sign
She said, «What you need is Love Potion Number Nine»
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said, «I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink»
It smelled like turpentine; it looked like Indian ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn’t know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn’t know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed that cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
